The Rolling Stones were, in many respects, the yang to The Beatles' yin. While the Liverpool lads seemed bright and breezy, smiling and funny, the band whose two main characters hailed from Dartford in Kent, were dark, broody, and deliberately menacing. And while The Beatles played their fair share of American influenced R&B music, The Rolling Stones made it their musical raison d’etre.
The Stones, as they’ve universally come to be known, got together after Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts had met and jammed in the blues clubs of south west London.
